Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to review randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of korean medicine for chronic urinary tract infections. Methods: We analyzed the randomized controlled trials that intervented korean medicine treatment on chronic urinary tract infections retrieved using seven databases. Literature search was conducted on August 10, 2020. Results: Of the 188 studies searched, 8 studies were finally selected. In all studies, the treatment group was treated with korean medicine and the control group was treated with western medicine. Although the evaluation index was different for each study, all the indexes in the treatment group were significantly improved compared to the control group. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment for chronic urinary tract infections had a significant effect compared to the western medicine treatment. Further high quality randomized controlled trials should be carried out to verify the strong evidence and safety of herbal medicine treatment.
